    I would highly not reccomend NOT disabling "limp Mode" as that is whats going to save your engine from exploding if there is a real need/call for it!!!!

    If you're trying to get out of it just disconnect your battery for 5 mins. If it has reset your dash clock will be reset.

    What are the symptoms of limp mode? I've had some things happen to my car not sure if it was limp mode.

    Car will go into limp mode for various things, one of them is when the amount of boost requested is not being reached, which can happen if the DV has failed. In the end, get the issue looked at because there is an issue.

    The car's ECU Failed because a short...."Wires Crossed" and I'm throwing like 12 codes. I've reset the codes plenty of times using VAG COM...not resetting.

    The symptoms are the Car is slow, EPC and CEL are on....pickup is limited and reading other posts....Its gives car 5 psi for boost, regular 14-16 psi, with max speed of 65MPH. You can 3/4 floor pedal and car takes off slow, kind of like a "scooter or moped" The car starts in 4th gear in regular "DRIVE" and can be shifted if you have Tiptronic. If you happen to floor car while already moving, car will downshift (Safety Precaution?) and won't stop downshifting until you move foot from pedal and gradually reapply gas.

    Well the car has a problem and resetting the car to get rid of the limp mode will NOT help improve things. You need to get the car to a shop and get this problem looked at and fixed. There is a reason why the car is going into limp mode - to protect the engine and or something else from destroying itself. What are the codes showing up.
